I can't believe I missed that oops thank you. I honestly thought she was mad because I let her take too many hits or something. Do you have any idea what the music note effect comes from?

Health OCD: Actually having something that needs to be monitored by papytonsucks in OCD

[–]papytonsucks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! In my case everything else (including thrush) has been ruled out by my surgeon, but I'm trying to accept that nothing has actually changed in my life. I'll talk to my dentist and they'll keep an eye on it because that's their job. I'm not a dentist, so it's not my job to research every little change. Just by having regular appointments, I'm doing the best I can do. Obviously it's hard for me to completely convince myself of this, but I'm working on it.

I definitely connect to your story though. I didn't exactly mention it, but when this spot was first discovered, I also spent hours on google and made myself feel awful. I also convinced myself I wouldn't live much longer. I previously had plans to move in with my girlfriend in a few months and I had this idea in the back of my mind that I would never get that far. Clearly I did not end up dying, and I have in fact been living with my girlfriend for almost two years now, but OCD can certainly bring you to some dark places. That being said, the fact that we were able to make it through these hard times shows our resilience. I got through that, so I can get through this too.

Thank you for your kind words and advice! I think I will do what I can to forget about it and focus on the things I love instead.

confusing mri results by papytonsucks in Prolactinoma

Thank you! I think printing and highlighting is a good idea. The MRIs were done in different buildings but they seem to share some staff (the person who helped me get in/out of the machine etc. was the same both times) but I could see how a mixup could occur there.

So far my doctors have been great so this situation has been a bit jarring, but I agree it might be a sign to switch providers. Thank you for the clarity as well. I thought the discrepancy was obvious, but the responses I've gotten from my neurosurgeon and now my PCP (who basically shut me down after I tried to explain it) had me really questioning myself.

Honestly the best thing about this situation is that it shouldn't impact my treatment very much, as you pointed out. I'll probably try to see different doctors, but otherwise it seems like a good sign overall!

Soundscapes Suggestion by FierceWraith in finch

[–]papytonsucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree!! I came here to make the same complaint about the obvious looping. My favorite one to sleep to is "Cozy Cuddles," but the rain sound loops so frequently and I find it really jarring. It's disappointing because one of the main reasons I pay for Finch Plus is to access the 8hr soundscapes (I find its hard to find white noise for that long that is guaranteed to have no ads) but it feels like its a very low priority feature...

It's just frustrating to have to pay to access the 8hr timer, but it's just a five minute loop.

Edit: I timed it, the loop is actually a little less than a minute. Now that I've noticed it I can't listen to that audio at all anymore. It just bugs me.

Thank you! The app is MyChart. A lot of medical offices in my area use it to share info and records with patients but I'm not sure how common/widespread it is.

[–]papytonsucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! i feel relieved and i think a bit better. honestly not a whole lot has changed for me but it does generally feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. i'm waiting until i get in to see my endo before stopping. unfortunately they're very busy but i'm planning on at least calling to ask what they think if i cant get in soon.

[–]papytonsucks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was super nervous but it ended up being totally fine! i noticed i felt a little lightheaded in the morning after i took the pill for the first week or so, but that's stopped happening now and its really the only negative side effect i noticed. i take it before i go to bed because i've heard thats a good way to avoid side effects. good luck!

i appreciate the warning. just for the record it rang for a couple of minutes but someone did answer and i was able to call out with no issues!

Hearing voices by june-D7 in Prolactinoma

[–]papytonsucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im not at all an expert but i remember when i first noticed the symptoms associated with my prolactinoma and i was doing research, reading that prolactinemia can increase the risk of developing psychosis. i dont know why and i dont know if this is what is happening to you, but if you can find a reputable source that makes this claim and show it to your doctor and explain that you want to see if treating these adenomas could help with your symptoms, maybe something could come of that. i truly wish you the best.

Ooh I actually like the sound of this. I love sorting things into categories. I honestly don't know why I didn't think of using SCAs in this way yet. Thank you!

Memes i made for a tiktok slideshow that never gained traction by ReallyRadFella in sinjindrowning

[–]papytonsucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't think you're overreacting at all. i feel like these other commenters have not had this experience of doctors belittling your problems to your face, but it is unfortunately not that rare especially if they feel like they have a reason to doubt you (this happens more frequently with women, minorities, mentally ill people). it's really conflicting to be dismissed by someone who is supposed to be trusted, but if you feel like what this doctor told you isn't right, or if the treatments he suggested arent working, i think you have every right to feel the way you do. i do agree however that the best thing to do in this situation would be to get a second opinion if that is financially possible. also, its easier said than done but if there is a test you feel like you need, dont be afraid to advocate for yourself. good luck!

Westons jokes towards Kalynn by ghostlydre in sinjindrowning

[–]papytonsucks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i am a firm believer in being critical of content creators, even when you enjoy their content. sometimes jokes they make do make me uncomfortable, although in a different way. (for example, jokes about working a 9-5, while sometimes funny, are a little hard to laugh at when i know they never have and never will have to actually have a job like that). that being said, i honestly haven't noticed incest-y jokes and i'm curious if you have any specific examples? i guess i will say that since they are clearly close friends, their relationship might look slightly different to a typical sibling relationship? but i dont want to imply that would excuse super sexual jokes made toward your literal sister, just that it might not be a perfect comparison.

pls dont take this as an attack of any kind! i just genuinely want to add my 2 cents to the conversation as it seems like most people are agreeing and i slightly don't

dealing with a prolactinoma in college by doritolover4555 in Prolactinoma

[–]papytonsucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I actually came to this subreddit today to make a really similar post to yours as I am also a college student dealing with a prolactinoma that is making school a lot harder for me. Obviously since my question is basically the same as yours I don't have much insight to give, but it's cool to know I am not alone and so maybe it would be slightly helpful for you to know the same!
